Summary

• Luna Snow is able to freeze Doctor Strange, preventing him from slipping away and allowing the team to quickly take him down.
• Wolverine can knock down flying enemies like Doctor Strange and deal damage based on the target's maximum health.
• Venom is durable due to the ability to mitigate Doctor Strange's attacks and can also counter his powerful CC with his Ultimate.

Doctor Strange (or Dr. Strange) became quite a popular hero in Marvel Rivalsand players loved his ability to cause an entire team to be wiped out with his portals. But the truth is that other players prefer other playstyles and are pretty tired of him ruining their matches. Fortunately, there are several ways to face Doctor Strange Marvel Rivals.

For players looking to challenge the Sorcerer Supreme rule, here are eight of them the best counters for Doctor Strangefrom the best strategist currently available on the roster to a walking disaster that can take incredible amounts of damage and pin Strange into submission.

8 Luna Snow

The best heroine to cool off a weird day

• Pros: Fast, lots of CC
• Cons: Squishy, ​​easily overpowered

Luna Snow quickly became the “Mei” of Marvel Rivalswith many players choosing this character for her chilling abilities. This is exactly what makes Luna so good at stopping Doctor Strange when he's been sitting around targets for a long time – even more so when he uses his cloak to slip away from melee combat.

Luna has the ability to freeze her targets with Absolute Zero, and landing on Doctor Strange as she glides after using Cloak of Levitation takes him down pretty quickly. Then the team can use a coordinated attack to take down Strange before he uses his Seraphim shield to block their attacks.

7 Wolverine

The Best Hero To Ground Strange

• Advantages: Fast, durable, can take down aerial enemies
• Cons: Hard to handle, hard to control

To defeat one of the advantages Doctor Strange has access to (his pesky flying abilities), who better to bring him down than the beast himself, Wolverine? Logan is a killing machine and his kit is designed to break down tough enemies (especially Vanguards). Doctor Strange fits comfortably into the profile of a durable, yet mobile tank.

Wolverine deals damage based on the target's maximum health, and the more Rage he has accumulated, the higher this percentage is. On the other hand, his Feral Leap ability can knock enemies out of the sky, even more so when powered by the Gamma Fastball Team-Up ability activated while Hulk is on the team.

6 Poison

Robust and reliable against CC

• Pros: Great at melee, tough, great mitigation
• Cons: It's a bit slow

Venom is one of the ideal counters for Doctor Strange, as he can take a few hits before he's in real danger, and even so, using Symbiotic Resilience will convert his missing health into temporary lives. Sorcerer Supreme can deal a lot of damage to big targets like Venom and Hulk, but it doesn't matter if players know how to mitigate them properly.

On the other hand, Venom's Ultimate Feast of The Abyss gives him “freedom of movement”, which is ideal against the powerful CC of Eye of Agamotto (Doctor Strange's Ultimate), a huge area burst that disrupts movement on every target in the area. and lasts for 3 seconds. With Venom, players won't have to worry about that. All they have to do is simply hit the Ultimate ability and crush Strange.

5 The Winter Soldier

Loaded with lots of CC abilities

• Pros: Payouts, great in Crowd-Control, can be done
• Cons: Squishy, ​​prone to overpowering tactics

Another great character against Doctor Strange is the Winter Soldier. Also known as James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, Captain America's former sidekick specializes in creating opportunities for his team to deal targeted damage to priority targets. With his many crowd-controlled abilities, Winter Soldier can pick up a floating wizard or drop him to the floor with a precision shot from his Tainted Voltage ability.

On the plus side, his ultimate also marks enemies for execution, and once they're below a certain health threshold, they'll instantly die and reset their ability, and this can be chained endlessly. Additionally, it lifts the figure into the air, avoids Doctor Strange's Eye of Agamotto, and then drops him on his head to kill him.

4 Black Panther

He is able to catch Doctor Strange off guard

• Pros: Extreme mobility, good stalker, can climb walls
• Cons: Limited set, single target focus

Black Panther is the perfect example of a good killer. This melee fighter has an incredibly fast jump that allows him to get close to and behind Doctor Strange in a second, making him the most vulnerable to other players' attacks. The King of Wakanda is an expert at flanking and surprise attacks, and since he also has the ability to climb walls, he can somewhat survive a portal throw if the player acts quickly enough.

On the other hand, his jump ability allows him to jump out of the AoE that Doctor Strange uses to stun everyone when he casts his Ultimate. This gives him the advantage of targeting the good doctor and preventing other opponents from targeting stunned team members.

3 Magician

A true master of portals

• Pros: Good mobility, good defender, uses disruptive tactics
• Cons: Squishy, ​​vulnerable when static

Another great defender that can bleed Doctor Strange out in seconds is Magik. Due to his high mobility, Magik can avoid being trapped by Strange's Ultimate and can also leave a demonic minion as a gift to attack the Sorcerer Supreme. Magik's set is to jump in the middle of the enemy team, separate the Strategists from the Vanguards and Duelists and then move out.

Strange is ranged Vanguard, a strange combination of crowd control, mitigation and mobility. Magik can counter most of Strange's skills and most of all survive long enough to make sure Strange is too busy to go around putting portals into the ground. She is a true master of portal magic.

2 Star-Lord

High mobility, can avoid Strange's traps

• Pros: Extreme mobility, good stalker, great ultimate
• Cons: Squishy, ​​vulnerable when grounded

Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, is a great mid-range Duelist who specializes in chasing down priority targets, taking them out with rapid blaster fire and retreating when the going gets tough. He's great at harassing shield-addicted heroes like Doctor Strange, who soon runs out of his Seraph Shield after a single encounter with Star-Lord.

On the other hand, Star-Lord's ultimate Galactic Legend propels him into the air, allowing him to destroy his enemies with tracking blasters while floating across the battlefield. This also puts him out of reach of the Eye of Agamotto, and his aerial maneuverability can save him if he falls into one of Strange's doom portals.

1 Wreck

He can bring Doctor Strange down and suppress him

• Pros: Extreme mitigation, Good tank, Can jump, Single target suppression
• Disadvantages: Vulnerable when isolated

One of the best Vanguards to face Doctor Strange in the current Meta is the Hulk. The Emerald Giant is an abundance of pure power and mitigation, able to knock enemies out of the sky with Incredible Leap and pin them down with Radioactive Lockdown.

When Hulk transforms into Monster Hulk, he gains increased strength and an ability called World Breaker. He can use it to grab Doctor Strange by the cloak and slam him into the ground for a few seconds, leaving him quite vulnerable, if not completely destroyed.
